Stuck on two clues, so need help from the gang please.
23a: programme to raise awareness involves my amorous pretence. Think the rogue word will be presence instead of pretence? ??c??? (6letters) and 25a: Burk protects this statue hiding majority of top. Burk will become bark....(6letters) ??t??? Annoyed at myself today.....

Hi

Haven't gotten round to this yet but can see first one is escort

Cor (my!) in EST

25ac a not u in burk; tiki about to(p).

Thank you both! If I am right with my convoluted missing SCARE, I am baffled by two, the one following 11a and the one following 21a as the letters I seem to be needing are O and G. Am I on the right lines?????

I am stuck on the one following 11a too
For the one following 21a my possible is a race of people???
Do you have the one on the same row before 12a?

I was late starting this, but have got (I think) the theme. I have two clues left to solve - any help would be appreciated.

7 A. City mark Sunderland's number 9 in box (4) ?u?g
22 D. Half of taxi filled with Bible teacher's spare cases (5) ?el?a
I think the definition is 'spore cases' and I think the answer ends 'ta' - but I could be wrong!

22d ELI is the bible teacher - think he was samuel's teacher?
7a hug - box synonym with n (9th letter of sunderland)
it's a city park

Thanks, sudokulover. I'm kicking myself over 22 D as I shouldn't have persisted with TA being at the end of the word.

Sudoku lover, I have I am embarrassed to say the word Jeremy Clarkson used in THAT rhyme. But was hoping I was wrong. What do you think the one following
21a might be?

Not finished yet, but for7A I have LUNG.
LUG = box. Insert N.
